Transport Holding Furnace PTT up to 900 °C
Max temp: 900 °C | Capacity: 275–970 kg Al | Voltage: 400 V
Transport holding furnace for aluminium melts up to 900 °C
Need to transport molten aluminium from the melting furnace to the casting workplace while keeping the melt at the required temperature?
The PTT transport holding furnace up to 900 °C is designed for transporting and holding aluminium alloy melts between the melting furnace and the casting station.
- You need to transport molten aluminium between workplaces
- You want to keep the melt at casting temperature during transport
- You use a forklift for internal foundry logistics
- You need a holding furnace up to 900 °C in the heating space
- You require easy replacement of heating elements and crucible
- You need a compact transport solution for foundry operation
Key features:
- Maximum furnace chamber temperature 900 °C
- Maximum long-term operation temperature 800 °C
- Recommended crucible operating range 650–850 °C
- Capacity from approx. 275 to 970 kg Al
- Crucible volume from approx. 110 to 300 L
- Forklift transport design
- Protective cast iron collar
- Quick cable connection and disconnection
Typical applications
- Transport of aluminium alloy melts
- Holding aluminium melt during transport
- Internal foundry logistics
- Supplying molten metal to the casting workplace
Typical industries
- Aluminium foundries
- Die-casting operations
- Gravity casting foundries
- Automotive suppliers
- Non-ferrous metal casting plants
- Foundry operations with internal melt transport
Main benefits
- Transport and holding of molten aluminium in one unit
- Reduced temperature loss during internal foundry transport
- Forklift handling between workplaces
- Quick electrical connection and disconnection
- Easy replacement of heating elements and crucible
For stationary holding of molten aluminium, consider the PTE Mk.II holding furnace. For melting and holding in one stationary furnace, consider the PT Mk.II melting furnace.
Optional accessories available at additional cost
- Crucible
- Charge thermocouple of the K type with protective tube
- Thermocouple of the K type in the wall of the crucible
- Optical indication of the state of the heating elements (spirals)
- System to check for cracks in the crucible
- Measuring loop calibration (thermocouple + controller)
- Connection of the furnace with the switchboard, within a metal hose with a protective metal sheath. The metal hose with a protective metal sheath on the surface always should be used for hoses with lengths exceeding 5 m.
- Signalling when the temperature drops below 650 °C
